Guess what? We’ve got a video! That’s right, if you want to see me in costume promoting The Fairy Stepmother, Inc., step over to my page and enjoy!

As of this message, the Geek and Sundry contest leaderboard has us in 8th place--but don’t let that fool you. We’re tied with the 7th place A Beast Requires (which is awesome, and you should check it out), but we’re only 1 reader shy of 6th place, 2 short of 5th place, and 6 under 4th place. Go us! So if you know anyone who might enjoy Evelyn, tell them to take a look! We’re close to a march up that leaderboard!

Thanks for your support!

Thank you all for your support of my novel so far.  Life has been hectic to say the least, so many things are changing in my life and I apologize for not updating you all like I should.

We’re still in the top ten of the competition so far, and I’m blown away to be able to claim that for even this long.  I was contacted by a member of the website to add to a blog about my inspiration for this novel, so I’ll keep in touch about that link.

I was also able to see preliminary sketches of the cover art my friend Courtney is creating for me, and it’s amazing.  I’m excited to get that uploaded to the site when it’s complete, and I’ll keep you updated about that as well.

Thank you again for helping me to this point in the competition.  As always, if you have any friends or family, coworkers or acquaintances who might like to read about fiery Brigid and her adventures, let them know where to find it.  The incredible support from wonderful people like you is how we push through the ranks and get published.

Thank you!

All the gratitude,

Dana Brentson

I have 12 followers for Other Life now, and it’s so exciting! Every time I see that I’ve gained a new follower it makes me incredibly happy, and I’d like to once again thank you so much for your support!

Now that there are a few more of you following my book I’ve decided that I’ll upload another snippet soon. Since the first teaser I posted was following Darcy, this next one will be following Samuel. This snippet will follow Samuel through one of his other lives; a life that the machine has titled Sacrifice.

I hope you all enjoy reading it once it’s posted!

Dear Readers,

I want to send a heartfelt Thank You to all those who have written such beautiful reviews, comments and recommendations for The Legend of Madog.  And for those who have already ordered, an extra big hug too!

I’m not a social media user (no facebook, twitter, youtube, etc.), and didn’t enter any contests before launching my pre-order campaign, which puts me at a disadvantage as everyone seems to be competing for Geek & Sundry... and I’m helping to support many of you, as I find the quality of projects on InkShares just astounding! (good luck to you all!!)

But I hope readers who really like my idea will not be dissuaded from supporting me.   I may not be in an InkShares contest, but the screenplay version of Madog has already won plenty of contests in its day.

The idea for The Legend of Madog came from a little-known story within the Arthurian legend that just took hold of me.   It’s been fifteen years in the making.  A labor of love, sweat, and many tears as I realized how hard it is to break into the film industry even with an award-winning script.

This is why I decided to write the book version.

Please take a look at my website, and if you think this is a movie you would like to see, or a book you would like to read, then I would love to have your support.   A recommendation, a review, a helpful critique, or a pre-order are all greatly appreciated!

Many blessings to my fellow writers,

It’s Friday!

Well, at least it’s been a week. At this very moment, 64 of you amazing backers have pre-ordered 86 copies of A Beast Requires! Yes, it gives me the grins. Well, I’ll be grinning once I have coffee, seeing as all my brain’s energy right now is focused on typing. 

This week I have a couple of tidbits for you. Yesterday I uploaded a video talking about some of the world building in A Beast Requires. Now, being as I am on Team Fat Kid, all of my world building, whether it’s for a book or an RPG campaign stems from food. Yes, I actually do world build from my gut. 

I’ve also uploaded an audio of me reading the Prologue. I’ll upload more chapters as the weeks go by, featuring some special guests so you’ll have a bit more variety than just my voice.

So watch them, share them, and laugh.
